Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The calculation of late finish dates and late start dates for uncompleted portions of all schedule activities. determined by working backward through the schedule network logic from the projects end date

15. Risk that remains after risk responses have been implemented






16. Processes required to track - review and regulate the progress and performance of the project - identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required and initiate the corresponding changes.






17. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit

19. Identifying - documenting - approving or rejecting and controlling changes to the project baselines

26. Analytical technique to determine the essential features and relationships of components in the project management plan to establish a reserve for the schedule duration - budget - estimated cost or funds for a project

32. Analytical technique that uses mathematical models to forecast future outcomes based on historical results. it is a method of determining the variance from a baseline parameter by using prior progress reporting periods data and projecting how much th
